I always saw Fiat as a negative when thinking about reliable or solid automobiles and it was a serious concern when I bought my 2015 Ram. I looked at Dodge trucks when I purchased my 2005 Ford and had same impression when you looked in 2010. I don't attach emotion to my vehicles and look at them as tool for the current and projected job I want done. When my Ram no longer serves its purpose, I will look for the right tool without regard to previous purchases because a lot can change in the 10+ years I typically own a vehicle as evidenced by both our purchases.
I have seen Hyundai/Kia build up their quality since they entered the US market. The styling and personal fit do not suit me, but I would consider including them in a search of that class vehicle if I needed one.
